From the Mandarins Web site:

Marching through wet and soggy streets, the Sacramento Mandarins welcomed the year of the rooster, by marking their first public performance of 2005 at the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco on Saturday February 19. The parade is one of the largest such celebrations in North America; the Mandarins have performed for 35 years.
